Of course, judging by some reaction to the STLE machine, will any Muppet LE sell if it doesn't have an LCD, and isn't $1,000 cheaper than STLE?

So Stern showed a Muppets clip on their Facebook page a while back but I think this theme would be well-suited to JJP, no? Family friendly, very well known, wide appeal, lots of material for the LCD. Very similar ti the kind of themes which they have chosen so far.
I believe Stern have also said that they are not interested in themes which primarily appeal to children. Although many adults also like the Muppets, maybe Stern would consider this theme to be directed towards a demographic which is too young.
The Muppets are a theatre company after all so in theory they can cover any sub-theme they choose (or better still that we choose) for example:
Muppets - POTC (Treasure Island)
Muppets - ST/SW (Mups in Space)
Muppets - Any Musical (Mups of Oz (MoZ))
Muppets - GTA (The Mups Movie)
Muppets - Christmas Carole (er...Mups Xmas Carole)
Muppets - Sherlock Holmes/Indiana Jones (Mups caper)
Muppets - Haunted House/Medieval Madness/etc...ect
As you can see they have done it all before.....you get the idea

the MUPPETS theme "just calls for it"
Does anyone have any info that would suggest a Muppet pin is anywhere on the horizon for Stern or JJP?
Heh, but if Stern did Muppets, it would have a *RED* DMD display, music done on a midi synth and Steve Ritchie would be trying to do the callouts imitating Kermit! 
Absolutely sure I would not get a Muppets pin so would not get any LE.
I doubt very much they will make one anyway.
I thought this was a joke for awhile, but it looks like a lot of people would buy one. Is it a different age group sorta thing? Im 24 and I watched a few of the muppet movies as a kid, but that is one of the last themes I would ever want in a pinball machine.

I'm 44 & feel the same as you . The poll is one sided
( no option for none of the above ). Some people
may have voted just to vote?? I think some of these
guys are suffering from low T. It happens to all of
us eventually ..
I am 39.
If you Judge the muppets on the movies, off course you dont like it.
Its about the tv series. old school muppets. Awsome!

Thank you. The movies are just OK, the TV show is where you get the characters and the theme. Im 34 if we are taking a poll on age now.

As a kid, I actually liked the Christmas and Pirate movie lol.
My kids watch the movies, and so do I.
I love vulgar, twisted humor, like Cyanide & Happiness, etc... But there is also room for clean, tongue-in-cheek humor as well. I like it all. 
Quoted from Mato:Even if the game play is exceptional
So many great pins out there I can manage to skip themes I really don't like. Muppets and Hip-Hop music are skippers
Too many great play field possibilities - I'm smiling just thinking about Pigs in Space, Statler and Waldorf call outs, etc etc - I'm sure one would end up at our house.

Quoted from limelime20:You never gave an option for : NONE , so NONE it is......how old are you?
Did you never grow out of the muppets?
Muppets are like many Disney or other animated movies, ageless. I have no problem admitting i still love me some muppets.
I agree the humor is more family friendly then other shows like family guy or Simpsons, but that doesn't mean it's only meant for kids. I know a lot of people love the muppets, it has great timeless characters. And lots and i mean LOTS of possibilities for a pin.
Quoted from limelime20:That sound's kinda sick to me....they were KINDA cool when I was young, wanting to like them, but now is KINDA gay.....just my opinion.... why would you? just curious...
I don't understand why you would call the Muppets gay. I understand there isn't a big macho factor associated with them, but I think they can be appreciated by lots of folks.
Some people would enjoy playing a Muppets pin and some would rather play something like WWF and stare at pictures of greased-up muscled guys while they play, to each their own.
I think folks are just getting hung up on the name of the topic. Perhaps the OP should have called it "If you were to buy a Muppets LE, which would you prefer?".
